Instructions for a supported install of Homebrew are on the homepage.

With npm you can run npm update -g (which is standard practice) and it will update all global node modules, including npm itself. When this happens after homebrew installed npm it completely breaks npm so that it no longer functions at all (unless you use sudo every time, which obviously isn't ideal). The only way to fix it is to re-install npm. Also, using the Homebrew installation of npm will require you to use sudo when installing global packages. Since one of the core ideas behind Homebrew is that apps can be installed without giving them root access, this is a bad idea. Use npm install to install a package and npm update to update a package. That Homebrew npm caveat was removed after the issue with npm update -g was fixed. Brew 下 安装node 和 npm. 其实npm是nodejs的包管理器（package manager）。我们在Node.js上开发时，会用到很多别人已经写好的javascript代码，如果每当我们需要别人的代码时，都根据名字搜索一下，下载源码，解压，再使用，会非常麻烦。. Wondering what’s next for npm? $ npm install homebrew. And how do I get npm? $ brew install node.

This script installs Homebrew to its preferred prefix (/usr/localfor macOS Intel, /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon) so thatyou don’t need sudo when youbrew install. It is a careful script; it can be run even if you have stuffinstalled in /usr/local already. It tells you exactly what it will do beforeit does it too. You have to confirm everything it will do before it starts.

macOS Requirements

• A 64-bit Intel CPU or Apple Silicon CPU ¹
• macOS Mojave (10.14) (or higher) ²
• Command Line Tools (CLT) for Xcode: xcode-select --install,developer.apple.com/downloads orXcode³
• A Bourne-compatible shell for installation (e.g. bash or zsh) ⁴

Git Remote Mirroring

You can set HOMEBREW_BREW_GIT_REMOTE and/or HOMEBREW_CORE_GIT_REMOTE in your shell environment to use geolocalized Git mirrors to speed up Homebrew’s installation with this script and, after installation, brew update.

The default Git remote will be used if the corresponding environment variable is unset.

Alternative Installs

Linux or Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux

Check out the Homebrew on Linux installation documentation.

Untar anywhere

Just extract (or git clone) Homebrew wherever you want. Just avoid:

• Directories with names that contain spaces. Homebrew itself can handle spaces, but many build scripts cannot.
• /tmp subdirectories because Homebrew gets upset.
• /sw and /opt/local because build scripts get confused when Homebrew is there instead of Fink or MacPorts, respectively.

However do yourself a favour and install to /usr/local on macOS Intel, /opt/homebrew on macOS ARM,and /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew on Linux. Some things maynot build when installed elsewhere. One of the reasons Homebrew justworks relative to the competition is because we recommend installinghere. Pick another prefix at your peril!

Multiple installations

Create a Homebrew installation wherever you extract the tarball. Whichever brew command is called is where the packages will be installed. You can use this as you see fit, e.g. a system set of libs in /usr/local and tweaked formulae for development in ~/homebrew.

Uninstallation

Uninstallation is documented in the FAQ.

Brew Node

Homebrew Node Js Install

Brew Install Node Lts

² 10.14 or higher is recommended. 10.9–10.13 aresupported on a best-effort basis. For 10.4-10.6 seeTigerbrew.

⁴ The one-liner installation method found onbrew.sh requires a Bourne-compatible shell (e.g. bash orzsh). Notably, fish, tcsh and csh will not work.
